最近一期的《国际教育研究与方法杂志》(IJRME) 包含 Stephen Gorard (2007) 撰写的一篇具有挑战性的文章，其中他攻击了统计建模当前实践的各个方面，特别关注多层次建模 (MLM)。我们认为，他的论点无论在一般层面还是在细节层面上都有很多误导性或误解，本文解释了出现困难的地方。我们首先简要概述统计建模的一些基本原理。然后我们讨论传销和一些一般性的批评。最后，在结论之前的最后一节，我们详细介绍了戈拉德文章中的一些错误陈述。
A recent issue of International Journal of Research & Methods in Education (IJRME) contained a challenging article by Stephen Gorard (2007) in which he attacks aspects of current practice in statistical modelling, with particular focus on multilevel modelling (MLM). We believe there is much in his argument which is misleading or misconceived, both at a general and a detailed level, and this article explains where the difficulties arise. We start by a brief overview of some of the basic principles of statistical modelling. We then discuss MLM and some of the criticisms in general. Finally, in the last section before conclusions we detail some of the mis-statements in the Gorard article.
